As per the meme ‘I will die on this hill’ what are your lighthearted hills you’re willing to die on?

Mine:

Phoebe Buffay is the worst friends character. She is not kooky, she’s mean, selfish and always looking for ways to put the other friends down. Everyone is too busy hating Ross to realise Phoebe is a cock. I will die on this hill.

@Bearlyawake and @Ohtherrwearethen
utter blasphemy!!!!

@TheWordOfBagheera

Yeah, but they keep the rodent population in check too, and that's pretty valuable if you ask me.

Custard is absolutely disgusting, as are eggs done any way apart from concealed within a cake.

Feminism has significantly reduced my ability to Let Things Go but I fear we might need a mountain range if I start down that road.

Grey is not a colour. It’s the absence of colour. A void, if you will. Therefore it has no business being everywhere in everyone’s houses and particularly not in different “shades” across an entirely grey room.

Brogley say what you feel, don’t hold back Grin

There are very few meals which cannot be improved with the addition of gravy, but number one has to be chips, lashings of grated cheese and a pint of beef gravy poured on top.

Nutella absolutely belongs in a sandwich with slices of Red Leicester.

Beebee8 · 30/04/2020 23:46

Butter and mayo are gag-inducingly bland and I find it frankly offensive that they are standard sandwich components

vlnr77yac · 30/04/2020 23:47

Friends was bowl of bland cold porridge.

Rachel was sooo dull and just a haircut ...and any woman who joined your gang swinging her head all the time like that and you'd ALL hate her. C'mon don't pretend..

Frasier was much much MUCH funnier in every way. The End.

Football is a game. Your life after the game will not end if your team loses, so calm down, stop arguing about who kicked what and stop crying.

AudaCityLimits · 30/04/2020 23:50

Bridget Jones was self-obsessed, annoying and whiny.

midlifecrash · 30/04/2020 23:51

Invitation = noun
invite = verb

"an invite" - not a thing

Lasagne should always be served with chips and salad cream. And either salad or peas.

Tacos go better with chilli than rice does.

Parsnips are the devils work. And that’s my hill. My final hill. And for that reason I’m out.

ThreeImaginaryBoys · 30/04/2020 23:53

@EllebellyBeeblebrox Absolutely! (waves from adjacent hill)

Mrskeats · 30/04/2020 23:57

Yes agreed ^comtesse*I believe that Siamese cats are dog like though.

DoreensEatingHerSoreen · 01/05/2020 00:00

Haven't RTFT so someone else may have already perished on this hill but:
G&T should be served in a tall (or short) glass - NOT in a huge balloon glass full of ice

ThreeImaginaryBoys · 01/05/2020 00:00

@raviolidreaming I won't ask to join you on your hill, as I'm partial to several gins, but I'm with you on the tonic. I save most of my vitriol for Fever Tree which is overpriced pretentious shite and the quickest way to ruin a G&T.

Beebee8 · 01/05/2020 00:02

@Mrskeats

Cats really don't care about you. They will happily live with anyone that feeds them.

So very wrong! Cats will roam around being fed by all and sundry but still go back to their people for cuddles and sleep! If you let a dog loose it would move in with the first person who whistled.

But maybe that's just because they're stupid Grin

Tea should be made the flowing way: Bag in mug, add boiling water, stir and squeeze bag then remove, add sugar (if you have it) and then the milk. Stir well and serve.

Mash potato should be smooth with an absolute shed load of proper butter.

Bacon butty must be on a thick slice of loaf again with a wedge of butter....the way the hot bacon melts the butter is just yum!!

Chicken Kiev is to be served with mash or rice to soak up the garlic sauce.

Salads are never served with enough sauce or dressing. I love my salad with tons of mayo and croutons.

Roast potatoes are best just a little bit burnt and crispy.

MrsAvocet · 01/05/2020 00:13

Salad cream is the most revolting substance on the planet. When I take over the world, all the factories will be razed to the ground and anyone attempting to produce it will be executed. Or worse, forced to listen to Andre Rieu records continuously

Mookie81 · 01/05/2020 00:16

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit it still infuriates me Amy wasn't nominated for Arrival and Meryl Streep was for that turd where she was a posh woman trying to sing Angry.
I haven't had any faith in the Oscars since then.

Queenest · 01/05/2020 00:18

MrsAvocet you know not what you say. It’s the lockdown. You’ve lost your mind. Don’t worry it will be ok Grin You will come to your senses.

I'm going to be really pedantic now. I can't remember which posters didn't understand how the Church of England could object to divorce because that was the whole point of it, but anyway...

Henry viii did NOT want to divorce Katherine of Aragon. He was a Catholic (didn't like protestantism - Anne Boleyn and Katherine Parr were both protestants and had to be careful when they tried discussing religion with him - and he had been awarded the title Defender of the Faith by the Pope for his anti-Lutheran writing). Of course, after the break with Rome he was equally suspicious of English Catholics who he thought had divided loyalties.

He didn't want to divorce Katherine of Aragon; he wanted the Pope to annull the marriage on the grounds that she had been married to his brother and so the marriage wasn't legal.

When the Pope refused to grant an annulment for political reasons he decided to create his own more compliant Church which would grant an annulment.

Phew! I think I've got 3 hills to try and defend now. Not sure which would be the one to die on if I had to choose. Probably muffins.

Btw, any fellow members of the Church who enjoy hearing about the smallest hills on which other members will die?

BlackForestCake · 01/05/2020 00:46

Is wanting your marriage annulled not much the same as wanting to be divorced, when it gets down to it?

BlackForestCake · 01/05/2020 00:48

That people are hanged not hung

A man who is hanged is something quite different from a man who is hung.

Adults are allowed to read children's books but it is unreasonable to then complain that you find the characters one-dimensional. Side-eye at all the previous posters.

LokiLocks · 01/05/2020 00:50

All craft beer tastes like watered down Jif lemon and is foul.

People who huff and give others the silent treatment have been spoiled or indulged and are often the worst kind of people.

Robert Downey Jr is inspirational and should be protected at all costs.

Andie should have ended up with Duckie in Pretty in Pink. Blaine was a drip.
